The effect of nitrogen supply on the transpiration rate and stomatal opening of potted bean plants was studied in a series of experiments. The transpiration rates of N-supplied plants were higher than ...

Microscopic pores on the surface of leaves called stomata help plants “breathe” by controlling how much water they lose to evaporation. These stomatal pores also enable and control carbon dioxide ...

Plants widen microscopic pores on their leaves in response to heat. But scientists lacked an understanding of the mechanisms behind this 'sweating' function. Now, biologists have unlocked the details ...
